1 Computer Science Department s Student Outcomes Assessment Plan The original SOA plan adopted in 1990 was portfolio based. Collection of information for the portfolios was sporadic and assessment of the portfolios provided little useful information for program improvement. In 1997 the current SOA plan was designed and adopted. It is aimed at providing the departmental curricular review process useful information without overburdening the faculty with data collection. The remaining of this section discuss the redesigned SOA plan. A. Benchmarks for Student Outcomes Assessment. We classify the expected outcomes and competencies into two categories: computer science content (skills and knowledge) and general skills. The general skills we deem necessary for computer science majors are related to oral communication skills, writtencommunication skills, and the ability to work in teams. The specific outcomes and competencies for these general skills are: Outcome 1. Students shall possess the capability to communicate orally and in written form according to the standards of the discipline. Competency 1.1. Be able to make an oral presentation to a group of peers that successfully communicates about computer science or the application of computer science. Competency 1.2. Be able to create a written document that effectively communicates about computer science or the application of computer science. Outcome 2. Students shall possess the capability to work effectively in a team. Competency 2.1. Be able to meet deadlines determined by the team. Competency 2.2. Be able to make a substantial contribution to the teams effort. We assess a student's computer science skills and knowledge learned at a relatively detailed level. The goal is to perform a per course evaluation for all required courses in each of the undergraduate programs. To avoid overburdening faculty, per course assessments utilize anonymous, end of semester surveys about student understanding of skills and knowledge related to the course. Appendix A contains a sample survey for the Introduction to Computing (810:051) which was the first course in the major in A web based assessment tool, called PAT (Program Assessment Tool), was developed to help manage these end of semester, per course surveys. PAT was never fulling utilized. Faculty found the effort to populate the list of topics needed to administer the surveys not worth the little information that the self assessments provided. Currently, we are discussing alternative to PAT, such as senior exit examinations.
2 B. Procedures. The current SOA plan uses five difference assessment instruments: i) Declaration Survey The first assessment occurs when a student declares a major. At declaration time students are required to complete a questionnaire (see Appendix A) addressing their reasons for selecting the major, career goals, and previous computer science background. Until this questionnaire is completed, their "Declaration of Major Form" is not forwarded to the Registrar. Additional materials such as ACT scores, high school GPA, high school rank, and a current transcript are collected at this time. The purpose of this stage of the assessment is to aid the computer science faculty in understanding the background of our students and perceptions of the field. Since computer science has a high attrition rate, this information might enable us to find some success indicators for our programs. ii) PAT (Program Assessment Tool) The primary mechanism for conducting assessment of the computer science knowledge and skills is the software package PAT (Program Assessment Tool). PAT assesses the effectiveness of individual classes in conveying the computer science topics (knowledge and skills) to the level of understanding expected by the department. Each semester during the last week of classes, students in each program take a blind (anonymous) survey that rates their perceived understanding of each topic using a low, medium low, medium, meduim high, and high scale. This is done for each required class for which a student is enrolled. PAT administers the surveys, tabulates the results, compares the results against the departmental expectations for each topic, and generates necessary reports. Currently, PAT is not fully implemented, but previously prototype versions of PAT was tried and found useful. iii) "Senior Sequence" Each computer science student is required to take a two semester sequence of courses usually in their senior year. A major focus of these courses is a large, team programming project that involves written documentation and culminates with a final oral presentation. Instructors of these senior sequences are responsible for assessing the written communication, oral presentation, and teamwork skills of individual students. These instructors complete summary reports (see Appendix A) indicating for each student their skill levels. iv) Exit Surveys Each graduating senior is asked to complete an exit survey (see Appendix A). Since most graduating seniors already have had several interviews, they are able to supply valuable feedback about employer expectations and interests. Additionally, this allows the department to track its graduating seniors better since some do not utilize the Placement center. v) Alumni Surveys
3 Every two years (starting Summer 1999) a survey of recent graduates is conducted. The questionnaire (see Appendix A) is designed to assess the strengthens and weaknesses in the preparation received during the program.
4 Appendix A Student Outcome and Assessment Forms Computer Science Department
5 Computer Science Major Declaration Survey Name Date Degree: BS in Computer Science BA in Computer Science BA in Computer Information Systems Background: What computer science or computer related courses did you take before coming to UNI.? Where did you take the courses? What computer science cources did you take at UNI? Did any of these courses influence your decision to become a computer science major? Which courses? Objectives Essay: Write a short essay on your career objectives on the back of this page. Address the following questions and include anything else you consider appropriate. 1. Why did you choose computer science? 2. What do you expect to do directly after earning your degree? 3. What do you expect to be doing five years after earning your degree? Note: Your major declaration will not be forwared to the registrar's office until you return this completed form.
6 OUTCOMES ASSESSMENT SURVEY INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTING 810:051 SPRING 1999 Sample PAT Course Survey The goal of the outcomes assessment survey is to judge the effectiveness of the course and NOT to judge the students. This is a blind survey because the students taking the survey cannot be identified. General Information: Yes No Did you have a programming course before this course? Do you have a computer at home? If you have a computer at home, did you find it helpful in taking this course? Do you plan to take Data Structures 810:052? Do you plan on repeating this course? Are you a traditional student? (Went directly from high school to your current degree program at UNI) Are you a non traditional student? (Have worked or received another degree before entering this program at UNI) Do you have any suggestions to future students who take this course? Do you have any suggestions that would improve your learning experience in this course? The section on the back of this survey is a list of topics relating to this course. It is not expected that you have indepth knowledge of all of the topics. Rank your understanding of the topics according to the descriptions of None, Low, Medium, Med/High, and High at the top of the page on the back of this survey.
7 None: Low: Medium: Med/High: High Have no knowledge of the topic. Have heard of the topic and have some idea about the general area. Understand the topic in theory but have not used it in programming or problem solving. Have a theoretical knowledge of the topic and have had use it in programming or problem solving. Have mastered the topic. Can easily use the topic in programming and problem solving. Topic None Low Med Med/High High Abstractions Variable declaration Type declaration and use Subtype declarations and use Enumerated data types Array declaration and use Array index declaration and use Records declaration and use Hierarchical record declaration and use Arrays of records declaration and use Exception handlers Block Structure Boolean expressions Conditional Statements if family Looping statements Declaration and use of procedures Declaration and use of functions Parameter passing Scope Input from the keyboard Output and formatting to the screen Input and output with text files Input and output with binary files Use of existing packages
